Correct.

Right. If that's not practical to fix on the kernel side for some
reason, we could also put in a quirk into the Broadcom handler in
update-notifier. (Right now it just listens for FIRMWARE subsystem
uevents and checksc if the value of it exists as a file).
This was originally introduced for the DVB-T driver firmware packages,
but if we could make it work for b43 as well, this would be nice.
Thanks!
Martin
